Sound Technology

Unprecedented Natural Reproduction of the Rich Expressive Power and Resonance of an Acoustic Piano.

Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR* Sound Source

Casio developed its Multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source to seamlessly reproduce the natural changes in the tone, volume and timbre of a grand piano from the moment a note sounds, through its beautiful sustain, until it finally vanishes away. Even the length of the reverberation can be controlled like an acoustic piano by adjusting the force of the keystroke. Players can also control the sustain of beautifully resonating tones according to their performance styles by using the piano’s built-in String Resonance function, which simulates the distinct reverberations of all 88 keys of the keyboard, a function that reproduces the resonant effect of a damper pedal.

* AiR = Acoustic and Intelligent Resonator

Featuring a wide range of high-quality preset sounds

The Privia PRO PX-5S has a maximum polyphony of 256 notes, making it a highly expressive instrument for performing.

Also included are 60 keyboard instrument presets, including “electric piano,” which seamlessly reproduce the changes in tone quality according to the force of the keystroke, and “clavi,” which captures the tonal character when the finger leaves the key.

50 Hex Layer presets layer as many as six tones for ensemble sounds.

Another 220 presets cover a wide variety of musical instruments including organs, strings, and guitars.

Users can also choose from 20 drum sets customized for a broad range of musical genres.

Special features make it easy for discerning performers to create sounds

The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) allows a wide range of effects to be applied to four different parts. It also comes with Master Effect for adjusting the EQ and Compressor, and System Effect for controlling delay, reverb and chorus.

The lengths of the reverberations and expressions a piano produces vary depending on the speed at which players release their fingers after touching the keys. The new keyboard system incorporates a Key Off Simulator that reproduces these nuances resulting from key release naturally. Authentic reverberations that feel just like those of a grand piano are expressed as a result.

Simulated ebony and ivory keys with optimal fingertip fit for playing ease

The Simulated ebony and ivory keys offers the luxurious feel and texture as well as the smooth touch of a grand piano keyboard. The minutely detailed crimp surface finish inhibits finger slippage due to sweat and gives the sensation of a perfect fingertip fit, even when playing for extended periods.

Optimal for a wide range of playing conditions and performing styles

The instrument is lightweight and slim at 11.1 kilograms and 28.6 centimeters deep, making it convenient for carrying to the stage or studio.

The instrument can be powered by either an AC adaptor or batteries, a convenient option for performing on the street and other outdoor settings.

Keysound reviews

Nigel was very quick to respond to my online part exchange enquiry and offered not only a fair price but a personal delivery service as well (thankfully no couriers to throw my new instrument around !). Although I could have got a similar deal elsewhere this personal service was the deciding factor for me to place my order with Keysound. My new keyboard was then delivered promptly within 3 days. Great service indeed and I very much hope to do business with Nigel in the future and would highly recommend Keysound.

From first to last, friendly knowledgeable service. They matched a very keen on-line price and delivered the piano well out of Leicester on a Sunday. The delivery team installed it with great care. Great after-sales service to boot. Overall faultless.

Too much all in one go. I was advised to go back for lessons on this machine, which I really need and which I want to do but things are very difficult for me with 3 removals to assisst, a house to sell and a 94 year old to visit daily. At the moment it is not possible to plan a lesson with the impresario at Keysounds. Will he please give me more time so that I can take advantage of his kind offer to help me learn more about my purchase. I so want to get the most from this very expensive purchase. Kind regardsJulie

Great range in the shop at the price I was looking at across various makes and models - by far the most useful collection under one roof that I’d come across. Also very knowledgable staff, plus experienced player on site to show what the pianos can do. Add to that a great price and fast delivery and it was an all-round great experience!

Excellent advice when purchasing an electric piano for a beginner. Good explanation of the difference in technology between the different pianos so that we could make a well informed choice. Also, some excellent advice about music for beginners. Thank you

Waited for delivery of my order and as promised received prompt call to say my keyboard was ready for my collection.Welcomed in theshop and I am immediatly among friends. I have had all my keyboards fromKeysound for the last decade and more.The support,knowledge,fair exchangesand pricing and everlasting follow up a customer gets must be the bestof the best.A visit to Keysound means you see the best products in the music worldand you can expect the best service.

Having finally decided to buy a Kawai keyboard after much dithering though I had previously decided to buy a Yamaha p255), I was persuaded to buy the 2nd hand (but in excellent condition) Yamaha p255 which saved me £100's of pounds and is more than good enough for my level. In years to come when my skill is better matched an even better keyboard I will upgrade. Who knows what advances in keyboard there will be by then? Love my Yamaha p255. Steve saved me loads of money, was really helpful and has an amazing laugh. Thoroughly enjoyed the buying experience and looking fotward to buying my next instrument there too.
